Lovely morning paddle with Sarah Bo - We thoroughly enjoyed our early morning kayak paddle with Sarah Bo. We learned a lot about the ecosystem and cultures of the area. Though the dolphins failed to make an appearance, Henry the osprey kept us entertained. The weather was gorgeous, there was only one other couple on our tour, very relaxing start to the day. Oh, and we loved the discount offered for the Outside Store on the island… very cute shop.

Best time kayaking - We had a wonderful time with Paddy on our kayak tour of the marsh and creeks. 10 out of 1O would recommend! We had kids with us ranging from 5 to 9, and they had a blast as well! Thanks, Paddy!

Kayaking in Shelter Cove - We thoroughly enjoyed kayaking with Phillip. There were some hefty wind gusts making it a bit of a workout but still loads of fun. The temperature was perfect for kayaking. The sun was bright and the temperature in the high 60’s. It was just my sister and I for our trip, so we wound up having a private tour.

Beautiful low country kayak tour - Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. She started out explaining carefully how to have a safe trip. Along the way, we stopped to enjoy wildlife and oyster shoals. The tide was very low, giving this tour a very different feel from others I have taken during high tide. I will definitely be back for another guided tour!

2 hr Nature and Wildlife tour. - Grace was an excellent guide for our kayak tour. I have done a few kayak tours in different locations over the years, but she's the first guide that paddled backwards. I assume this was so she could monitor the group. But, it actually made the tour so much more informative and personal. I could actually hear her descriptions even if at the back of the group; and I was able to ask more questions along the way. Bonus- we saw bald eagles during our trip!

Paddle with Patty - We had the privilege of taking a group tour that only included my wife, me, and our guide, Patty. It was a great experience. Dolphins, lots of birds, and even a manatee were on our sighting list, as Patty explained about the natural ecosystem of Hilton Head. We had to paddle against some wind, but Patty was very cognizant of pace and our abilities. We appreciated the kayaking tips and the new knowledge we gained. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Patty as your guide.

Excellent Guided Kayak Tour! - We enjoyed a fantastic kayak tour guided by Sarah Bo. The marina was easy to find, parking was a breeze and the tour was really interesting! Lots of info about the history of Hilton Head, local waterways, and we even saw a dolphin! Highly recommend Outside Adventures, this is our second time touring with them and they always have the best guides!

Excellent excursion for all ages. - This is a great family; solo; team building; interesting, educational kayak tour. Loved our guide- small group so fun we went all through the marsh waters outside Shelter Cove. Two hours of peaceful kayaking while learning the history of HHI. We are coming back with our adult children during Thanksgiving. Highly recommend!!!
